Those creative fires 🔥 within. Concepts and ideas that smolder inside you? Where do you draw your inspiration from? Do flashes 🔦 from the past unlock ideas or do you find present day moments spark ⚡️ them? Whether you plan buildings or spaces or photograph them great inspiration is paramount. I grew up with an analog 📷 camera in my hands and saw the world through the vieefinder. I feel so blessed. This was in the time where one could get lost for 10 hours a day. Analog days. The cycle of create, develop, print, examine, rinse, repeat... Exploring the world through found light. I find the simple joy of exploration to be the essential in my compositions today. Less formulas...more discovery. And so...these are my thoughts this Friday morning. I would love to know yours. Please share them 👇 below.

Doug Walker of Walker Photography in Olympia, Washington was named a Silver Medalist during Professional Photographers of America's 2018 International Photographic Competition (IPC). Walker’s work will be on display at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, Jan. 20-22, 2019.

A hearty congratulations to Heather Burgess, co-founder of Phillips Burgess Law Firm, a real estate, land use and environmental law firm based in Olympia and Tacoma, on being named ‘2017 Boss of the Year’ by the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce. I had the pleasure of working with them on updating their executive portraiture.

I was invited to present an Architectural Photography Workshop at the recent Professional Photographers of Washington Fall Conference held at the beautiful Davenport Hotel in downtown Spokane, Washington.
